Jeong Kwan-jang of women's professional volleyball was completely defeated in the second round of the playoffs with the main setter Yeom Hye-sun missing. With such performance, the outlook for the third round is also dark. Even if the women's team won the first playoff game for the first time, it was on the verge of failing to advance to the championship game.

Jeong Kwan-jang suffered a unilateral defeat by Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 0-3 (20-25, 17-25, 22-25) in the second round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League Women's Playoff at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 27th. Jeong Kwan-jang easily won the first game 3-0, but a huge variable occurred ahead of the second game. Yeom Hye-sun was absent due to a knee injury. It is also unclear whether he will play in the third round.

Yeom Hye-sun actually felt pain during the first game on the 25th, but she held it in. Coach Ko Hee-jin of Jeong Kwan-jang judged that he would not be able to play in the second game after checking his condition on the 26th. Coach Ko Hee-jin said ahead of the game, "Yum Hye-sun can't participate today," he said somberly. Then "I've been hurt a lot, too. I can see how much it is just by looking at it,' he said.




Kim Chae-na was in charge of the heavy duty. Coach Ko Hee-jin said, `It's not like Kim Chae-na and Ahn Ye-rim haven't played a game, but I expect them to do well because they worked hard together.' Coach Ko Hee-jin emphasized composure. Coach Ko Hee-jin said, `First of all, don't feel pressured. He said you can think carefully about the pattern Hye-sun did. I told him not to worry too much because I'll give him advice even after entering the game. I think we need to have a lot of conversations while playing with a comfortable mind"I predicted.

However, Yeom Hye-sun's gap was larger than expected. The articles of association had no choice but to rely heavily on the personal skills of the main gun Mega and Bukirich. Hyundai Engineering & Construction did not miss this opportunity. He aggressively shook Jeong Kwan-jang's receiving and launched an onslaught.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who easily gave up the first set in a chaotic situation, showed his reorganization in the second set. He led 10-5 at the beginning of the set and created a flow that seemed to have found a sense of touch.

The momentum of the articles of association did not last long. Attacks such as Jung Ho-young and Bukirich failed one after another, providing an excuse for the chase. The atmosphere was completely over as Mega's attack failed at 13-11 and Yang Hyo-jin hit a serve ace at 13-12.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who was driven to the edge of the cliff, fiercely resisted in the third set. The game, which had been dragged by three points, turned around 19-18. However, as the receiving went up inaccurately at 22-22, he dedicated the opportunity to attack and suffered a 22-23 upset. Jeong Kwan-jang was also unstable in receiving 22-24. The game ended because Moma's attack could not be prevented.

Meanwhile, in the women's division, the winning team of the first round advanced to the championship game with a 100% probability in the 18th playoff since the launch of the V-League in 2005. If Yeom Hye-sun fails to return to Game 3 on the 29th at the home turf of Hyundai Engineering & Construction, he is likely to take the disgraceful record of being eliminated for the first time in the 20-year history of 'victory and defeat'.
